Summary/Abstract: This study examines the contemporary reactions to the Josephine tolerance of the Jews in Bohemia and Moravia, focusing on the Prague and Vienna discussion between 1781 and 1782. The author collects and paraphrases most of the known occasional prints that appeared on this topic, and analyzes their arguments and perspectives. The study also provides some historical background on the situation of the Jews in the Habsburg monarchy, especially after the annexation of Galicia and Lodomeria, and the influence of the enlightened ideas on the Jewish emancipation.
